Bug Description

Binary package hint: libcv-dev

using libcv-dev and libcv1 version 1.0.0-6.1 on kubuntu 8.10 amd64.

trying to initialize v4l2 via the demo programs (in c or python) fails with "Could not initialize capturing..." for the c programs or
"Error opening capture device" for python programs. The demo programs that did not involve webcam capture work as expected. /dev/video0 exists and works with cheese, skype, etc. I tried 2 webcams, one was a logitech with the following output from v4l-info

Neither of those fixes work (although the LD_PRELOAD works with HornetsEye, another computer vision framework).
I can't compile the SVN version of OpenCV due to an error in the SWIG bindings. Does anyone have a patch/fix/workaround at all?
